The Vulcan Hello Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

GEORGIOU: Devious, Saru. I approve.

 

[CaptVader]

[Klingon ship]

T'KUVMA: And our dead?

 

[May 20]

L'RELL: They float untethered on the battlefield, soon to be lost.

 

[CaptVader]

T'KUVMA: Task everyone with retrieving them. I will prepare each of the slain for entombment with my own hands.

 

[May 20]

[Ready room]

GEORGIOU: We'll use a worker bee to carry the torpedo. It's small enough to be mistaken for debris. Be ready in ten minutes.

 

[Athena28]

SARU: I will also run an analysis to determine blast sites for optimum damage.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: Make it hurt, Saru.

 

[Athena28]

SARU: Oh, there is one problem, Captain. Our worker bees have no autopilot, and our transporter can't penetrate their shields.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: We won't need it. I'll be driving.

 

[Athena28]

SARU: Captain, that's a suicide mission.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: Your priority is getting impulse engines back online so that you can get the Shenzhou out of here before I detonate the warheads. T'Kuvma lured Starfleet to a massacre. It's time I repaid him.

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: Captain, you can't do that. T'Kuvma has anointed himself the next Klingon messiah. If you kill him, you make him a martyr. Someone they can fight for endlessly. That might even be what he wants. But if you capture him, you make him a symbol of defeat, of shame. And if you take him as a prisoner of war, well, you give the Federation leverage to sue for peace.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: How could you have done this?

 

[CaptVader]

BURNHAM: I believed it was the only way to avoid a full-scale war.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: When you first came aboard seven years ago, I worried your Vulcan training might some day trump your humanity. Do you know why Sarek asked me to take you on? I was a human who had seen a life of loss but still chose hope. What an ego I had thinking I could pick away the shell the Vulcans put around you. I was so sure I could do it. Even convinced that you were ready for the Captain's chair. To think I knew you so little.

 

[Athena28]

BURNHAM: You want to know how I turned on you? I believed saving you and the crew was more important than Starfleet's principles. Was it logical? Emotional? I don't know. Let me deliver the warheads in your place. They're gathering their dead.

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: Saru, forget the worker bee.

 

[Athena28]

SARU: Captain?

 

[May 20]

GEORGIOU: Spool up the transporters now, and have Engineering meet us there with a torpedo warhead. I know how we take him.

 

[Athena28]

[Transporter room]


T'KUVMA: A warrior who dies in his sleep is no more than flesh and bone.
